LARSON v. CIGNA INS. CO.

No. 94-523.

894 P.2d 327 (1995)

Carl LARSON, Petitioner and Appellant, v. CIGNA INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent/Insurer and Respondent, Yellowstone Ford Truck Sales, Employer.

Supreme Court of Montana.

Decided May 4, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James G. Edmiston, III, Billings, for appellant.

Sara R. Sexe, Marra, Wenz, Johnson & Hopkins, Great Falls, for respondent.

LEAPHART, Justice.

This is an appeal from the judgment of the Workers' Compensation Court holding that appellant Carl Larson could not receive permanent total disability benefits for his work-related hernia condition due to the fact that he first became totally disabled by a pre-existing, non work-related and independent heart condition. We reverse the decision of the Workers' Compensation Court and remand for further proceedings.
